My Kotlin Coroutine is Greater!
Coroutines are the big cheese. But who are we to say something so controversial? To learn, you must see the use cases, in all their glory.

Remember, it depends on comprehensibility and flexibility.

Re-Writing? Oh, Snap!
There’s a pretty strong case as to why you shouldn’t re-write your app. The folks at Snap Engineering consider re-writes to be a no-go. In fact, they claim re-writing might better be substituted by an incremental approach, when possible. Learn the reasoning, clear problem identification, decision-making, and the perils of MVP mentalities.
